Hi Guyz

The following is my observation on the battery.

1.Today i used my phone a lot and while returning back my battery charge showed 5%(using an app to tell me the % remaining).

It takes me almost an hour and 15 mins to get back home.

Surprisingly i could listen to music for all the 75 mins on my way back home and still the phone did not switch off. The screen was off all the time , though i had to unlock the phone 4-5 times to check the time, Awesome i shud say.

2. Regarding the charging: My battery was at 15% charge when i decided i should try to switch off the phone and charge the battery.

After 12-15 minutes charging the battery switched off i turned on my captivate and was surprised to see the charge reach 52 %. That seems great.

Can anyone confirm this, by charging their phone switched off?

Please let me know!

Thanks

[Galaxy S I9000 General] HKcow:
I hard reset my phone and the first things after reset I do is to add a facebook account and sync my friend to my i9000 contact list. So this procedure can eliminate the system error.

My facebook account has serveral hundreds of friend, but only 16 of which can be synced to my i9000 contact list. I tried to use my friend facebook account and all of his friend can be synced. So there must be something wrong with my facebook account.

Anyone heard a similar case and how can I solve this? How can I contact facebook support if required?

Ok this is not good ... I just play with this phone at att store and could not get the auto focus to work on cam coder !

Is this normal or att crapable this a well ...
[Captivate General] raydm:
so no one care about it here i guess.
[Captivate General] derek4484:
I dont know, I havent attempted to use the camcorder yet. But I've seen video samples that others have taken and posted and they looked pretty good.
[Captivate General] focalguy:
I just tried it out and I think I can see it trying to auto-focus on closeup items (like my computer keyboard). I say trying because it's macro focus isn't that great even in camera mode. I then moved it to something about 20ft away and it seemed to focus fine on that.

I looked around and noticed a few have encountered a problem with the last update and I was wondering if someone who has this app, before the last update, could upload it. It's a free app, so I don't know if it's illegal to share it...thanks

[Vibrant General] nick_karstedt:
So after having spent quite a bit of time browsing through all the stock touchwhiz apps, I have to say, for the most part I'm really enjoying TouchWhiz. The launcher can be replaced so even if it REALLY bugged me, it is an easy fix. The apps have really impressed me, though. The social integration is quite extensive.

I've gotta say my one beef with it is that there is really a lack of options I would expect in a non-standard app. If TouchWhiz apps had the extensive options seen in replacement apps like Handcent SMS, ADW.Launcher, I don't think I would have anything to complain about. It would be really nice to be able to disable certain tabs and options..

Anyways, what do you guys think? Do you like it overall or just assume get rid of it all? Which things do you love most about it and which do you hate?

I can honestly say that any custom roms without TouchWhiz will have to have something pretty amazing to draw me away from the stock rooted rom or another TouchWhiz based rom.
[Vibrant General] kstar54:
I agree completely. I am really enjoying touchwiz, but am missing some of the customization i have come to love with Android.

I am hopefull that future updates will address some of this.
[Vibrant General] voghan:
So far I am really impressed with TouchWiz3. The contacts app should be ported over for everyone to use. I have the filters to only include contacts with phone numbers, having the ability to jump to a specific letter in the address book and sliding across a name to make a call.
[Vibrant General] joseromero:
Wish I could select a default calendar to post to instead of the phones My Calendar. I have to keep selecting my google calendar every time I create an appointment. It's a bit annoying.
[Vibrant General] chastbi:
I'm loving TouchWhiz. Being a long time CMmod and ADW launcher user and having tried the old TouchWhiz version w/ the obnoxious sidebar, I was ready for CM6 before even laying my hands on this phone. Now I seriously doubt I'll switch even when CM6 becomes available.
[Vibrant General] daropedia:
I have to disagree I'm not happy with TouchWiz and really wish I could get the AOSP contacts and calendar back that's all I really care about...

Calendar most importantly
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
I really like TouchWiz. I don't like the App Drawer though. I still prefer LauncherPro, so i'll be using that instead.
[Vibrant General] MacGuy2006:
TouchWiz 3 is particularly ugly. Ugly colors, ugly icons. Just tacky as they come.

I would have returned the phone if it wasn't for LauncherPro.
[Vibrant General] sfsilicon:
I miss the flexibility of the vanilla Android 2.1. I've been using CM5 on my G1 prior to buying the Vibrant. Can't wait for CM6 for the Vibrant.
[Vibrant General] MikeDo:
I so so on TW, I'm using LauncherPro at the moment but I wish I could use my samsung widgets
[Vibrant General] jaxrunner:
Could've been a 9.5 phone but some small but major annoyances

The touchwiz calendar app is nice, but you are unable to create a new event that defaults to you google calendar...its defaults to the phone's default calendar ("My Calendar"). Also, the default alarm time before an event is set to "none" and can't be changed to the typical 5,10,15..min before event. Why? How can this be useful...The beauty of android is in the cloud. I guess they are trying to appease to folks that don't use google services, but this is a damn Android, so im calling this a dumb and stupid decision. The same logic is somewhat applied when adding a new contact, but a pop up gives you a choice to save to sim, phone or google, so it is definitely better implemented in the add contact option, but I must ask...Who is buying this phone and saving contacts to the sim card? It's a damn Android!

The other issue which I initially didn't use much on my G1 (CM 5.08), but later fell in love with is custom ring tones for a specific caller. The only way to do this with the Samsung Vibrant is to actually save the contact on the phone vs with google. I just don't get this....once again This is an Android phone. Why did they create these additional profiles and not default them to the standard Android behavior. This is why fragmentation of the Android OS can be bad.

These are really my only major gripes after having the phone for less than a week, well besides that annoying shutdown tmobile jingle and the power/unlock button on the side...oh and I wish this phone had hdmi out. The video out is really a neat feature, but its not a good experience using the standard def audio/video out jack.

I know these may seem like minor annoyances, particulalry the calendar and custom ring tone, but getting the basics right is what I think counts the most. Leave well enough alone!

With all that said it is a great phone and once you go superamoled there is no going back.

I forgot to add that I running ADW and there is no way I could run this phone with that awful iphone look alike launcher. I'm also rooted and tethering (wired or wifi) does not seem to work.

I'm hoping Cyanogen works his magic with this device...it will be a beast!
[Vibrant General] tq745:
I hate touch wiz and the fact that it looks like an iphone. Don't really like the icons and the accu weather click is hideous. I use beautiful widgets and adw for my launcher. I think adw us the best launcher because of it's ability to customize extensively.

Feeling Vibrant on xda-app
[Vibrant General] daropedia:
Anyone else having problems with ADW Launcher Notifications bar?

I've got "Hide Status Bar" unchecked and yet it just keeps disappearing, I tried with it checked and got the same result, it'll be there for a while and disappears, even when I pull down the notifications drawer it's still not there just a blank line of wallpaper at the top.

I've actually gone back to the TouchWiz becuase I can't reliably see my batter meter or signal strength.

Anyone get this?
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
I think a lot of you are missing the fact that the Launcher is not "TouchWiz 3.0". The skin goes much deeper than just the launcher.

Copying contacts to the phone is also very easy. Export them and then Import them. They're on the phone now... not sure if this would work because they're still linked through Google, but they are on the phone now too so you could unlink them from Google.

If you want ugly just look at a stock Android phone. Ugly, tacky.. since when is black and blue tacky? The icon backgrounds in the app menu might not be to everyone's liking but it's still WAY Better than the stock app drawer with it's hideous background and yellow coloring throughout
[Vibrant General] DonutYankee:
I agree. I don't mind touchwiz at all. I'd like the option to switch to default Android look though. My main gripe with touchwiz is the calendar and the fact that the applications menu is a cheesy rip of the iPhone menu, come on Samsung. Also, I quite enjoy the AccuWeather clock.
[Vibrant General] s0niqu3:
I'm totally with you on the touchwiz calendar and contacts apps having some serious issues. Though I really like the color scheme, love the subtle grey in notifications, the black task-bar, and the blue menu headings, it looks clean to me.

Anyway, I have found a temporary solueion for the Calendar, for myself at least. Should work for anyone who's rooted.

Grab the Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk from the thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6472313&postcount=674

then use a shell to backup TouchWizCalendar.apk/.odex and TouchWizCalendarProvider.apk/.odex

then remove all 4 files

and install the Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk from the link

and grant permissions to let the new calendar & provider access your data when it asks.

I'm stoked because this brought back the default calendar widget too, which I was seriously missing :)

Add in the GenieWidget.apk from the nexus one here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=600959

And I'm one step closer to having all the default apps and widgets that I like =)

Now if only I can do the same with the Cyanogen Dialer, Alarm and contacts app... not sure I'm feeling that reckless tonight though, lol.

cheers!
[Vibrant General] renegadedj:
regarding the OP: you CAN change the volume of the tmo startuip & shutdown jingle by going to settings-->sound&display-->system volume

the one thing i noticed when i pick my own ringtones that are either in the internal sd OR external sd storage, is that if i set them, then mount sd card, then unmount, then my f**king ringtones and notifications all change back to the annoying as F**K default. !! i would LOVE to be able to mount JUST the external sd OR the internal sd ONE AT A TIME OR both IF i wanted to.

but no... someone at samsung or tmobile didnt think of this. too me a lot of the little things we as smartphone users really care about were entirely overshadowed by the concern for aesthetic beauty of touchwiz 3 by samsung. tmobile or someone needs to push and update that will edify the smartphone features as they should be...
[Vibrant General] jaxrunner:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] royalbloodvi:
So I hear this program, increases your battery life by 1 day or more, if you change the settings, something about the clocks the processor runs at on standby, while its on, etc. Does this actually have any proven results?

However, on the downside, I actually hear its BAD for your mini, so, please share what you know, so we can all decide whether or not to buy this program or not, cheers.

Anyone else watch the review on attack of the show on the EVO, they gave it a 3 outta 5:eek:, because of the fact we are paying 10 extra for 4g that isnt available yet..(other wise they'd give it a 4 out of 5 better) THE FACK.. why dont people understand.. :( its not for 4g,:confused: With my hero i managed to use a whopping 200-300mb of data, with the evo im hovering 1.9-2g

I still love AOTS though. :rolleyes:

haha cause i still like Allison, and they need to bring back Jessica Chobot. she is hot :).. And yeah olivia is back for now at least.
[EVO 4G General] twilk73:
10$ may not be for 4g but the reason its so hated is because of the way they charged it. Ok the new evo is gonna cost 10$ more. Wrong all new smart phones from here on out will have a 10$ fee added is how it should have been presented. The fact is all the new high end smart phones will have this 10$ fee. They said it wrong and it got taken the wrong way so we came out a little confused. Well honestly this is just my theory. I have no doubt in my mind the new 10$ fee is going to continue on to new smart phones coming out in the futur. If this is ture Sprint just uped the cost of there data by 10$ start with new smartphones. If they would have presented it a diffrent way we all wouldnt have gotten so mad lol.

UPDATE:

Got an account with filedropper.com - so, here is a new link:

http://www.filedropper.com/captivatesystem_1

Select the gray "download this file" button in the center.

Try this one. We'll see if it runs out of bandwidth or reaches a max download....

NOTE: I pushed the FMRadio.apk from the Euro GS Rom to this phone prior to making the system dump. It is included in the apps in the dump. HOWEVER, it does NOT work. It appears that all it would need to work would be the radio drivers from the EURO version to include in a new kernal - then we would have a REAL FM RADIO like on some of the other devices -instead of the ATT crapware radio that they want to charge fees for!

Edit:

Below are two other posts late in the thread that also have links. If one doesn't work or is too slow for you - try another!

I am the only one this is not working for? I goto flash it and it says "Successful" after 2 seconds then reboots. I even cleared DATA/CACHE and it still isnt working.
[Captivate Android Development] shaneaus:
This is a system dump - which means that this is the stock ROM from the Captivate and is "pulled" from the device and zipped. This is done so that developers can access/review/modify/etc the files and use them to produce custom ROMS/apps/etc.

This is NOT something used to flash to a device as is!

att maps app

Try looking in this folder

/system/app

on my phone its called attmaps20-1094.apk and in case you just want to side load it, i thought i would tell you i have had problems with sideloading stock apps. I always get permission denied in the Terminal window
[Captivate Android Development] shaneaus:
@sejin - I'm sorry. I might have removed ATT Maps and one other ATT application prior to dumping my system file. I'm not a fan of Provider bloatware. I checked most of/if not all the ATT apps and they seemed to all charge money. So, I began removing them. It didn't occur to me that this would be an issue as we all have those apps when we get out device.

I recommend using Google Maps/Navigation as that costs you no money at all and works really well. However, I'll try to look around to locate the ATT apps and post them up when I find them.
[Captivate Android Development] sejin:
yeah i was hoping for a pure stock system dump, so we have something until att/samsung releases an official rom for captivate in case we need to put back to stock. i am new to android and testing out things, using the titanium backup and such.

But can someone tell me how to push it along with the ODEX file into my /system/app directory? I keep getting a permission denied... And I can't install the apk either, presumable because the ODEX is missing? What the heck is the ODEX file for anyway?

Hate to bring this thread back to life, but....

1) None of these links work anymore

and

2) Can someone upload a stock KB1 dump or PM me on how to do it myself?
[Captivate Android Development] anneoneamouse:
To get a stock KB1, use ODIN-one-click to JF6, then use mini-KIES to download & install it from Samsung/ATT.

Hope this helps,

[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
I was talking about a system dump, not an upgrade. I'm already running Cog 4.2.1
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
Best bet is to download the source that was posted awhile back. do a search for it and you will find what you need.
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
The source download isn't a dump. When I say system dump, I mean something like this, which I originally got from this thread before all the links got changed around to the OPs non-existent filedropper account.

http://www.mediafire.com/?q7qljf97kaf8z9c

That is the kind of dump I want, except for stock KB1, and not JF6.

By the way, should anyone want this dump of JF6 you are welcome to it, and if you should need JH7, I also have that.
